Active clinical trials for "Hypercholesterolemia"

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacodynamic effects on LDL cholesterol (LDL-C)

Eprotirome (KB2115) is a liver selective thyroid hormone that can induce hyperthyroidism in the liver, while an euthyroid state is preserved in the extrahepatic tissue. Eprotirome has in clinical trials demonstrated pronounced reduction of several independent risk factors for the development of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. The purpose of the study is to assess the efficacy and safety of KB2115 as add on therapy to ezetimibe following 10 weeks of exposure compared to placebo. The aim of the study is to assess efficacy (LDL-cholesterol lowering effects) and safety of KB2115 and to define a clinically relevant dose or dose range for future studies.

The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of coadministration of ezetimibe 10 mg with atorvastatin 10 mg in untreated subjects with primary hypercholesterolemia and coronary heart disease for whom diet and exercise have failed. The primary variable is LDL-cholesterol (LDL-C), and the secondary variable is total cholesterol (TC), HDL-C, and triglycerides (TG). The following variables were used to assess the safety and compliance of the drug: vital signs and laboratory values. Variables were measured before the first administration of the drug and at the last administration of the drug, after 6 weeks of treatment. Adverse events were also assessed.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of 6 weeks of treatment with Rosuvastatin with 6 weeks of treatment with Atorvastatin in African American subjects with hypercholesterolemia.

The purpose of this study is to assess the long term safety of Crestor.

Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is frequently associated with hypercholesterolemia and possibly with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Statins lower serum cholesterol levels and may thus improve the cardiovascular risk in PBC patients. The aim of our study therefore was to prospectively examine the efficacy of low-dose atorvastatin on indicators of cardiovascular risk such as dyslipidemia and vascular function as well as safety in patients with PBC.

The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of pitavastatin with that of simvastatin.

This study will assess and compare the efficacy and safety of valsartan and the combination of valsartan and simvastatin in patients with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.

This study is being conducted to compare the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ezetimibe 10 mg coadministered with atorvastatin 10 mg versus atorvastatin 10 mg in Indonesian population with primary hypercholesterolemia.

The aim of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of varying doses of ISIS 301012 as add-on therapy in subjects with Homozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia
